Seattle fought hard but could not complete an opening game comeback against the reigning Copa Libertadores and Brazilian champions

Brazilian and South American champions Botafogo began their Club World Cup campaign with a 2-1 victory over MLS side Seattle Sounders in a Group B encounter at Lumen Field on Sunday.

The summer of soccer will take a new look this year with the FIFA Club World Cup, which comes to the U.S. for the first edition of the expanded competition that will see 32 teams from around the world compete for a share of the $1 billion prize purse.

Botafogo will face the Seattle Sounders in this 2025 FIFA Club World Cup matchup on Sunday at Lumen Field, and you can catch all the action with DAZN. Botafogo and the Seattle Sounders will take the pitch on Sunday, June 15th, at Lumen Field in this FIFA Club World Cup match.

For Major League Soccer teams, international matches tend to be low-stakes duels such as San Diego FC’s friendly last week against Club América, the Mexican powerhouse. The 32-team Club World Cup that begins Saturday night in Miami Gardens, Fla., will count as a large step up from those dalliances.

LAFC booked passage to the summer showcase after a one-off clash with Liga MX giants Club América in the wake of Club León being removed from the competition. Goals from Igor Jesus and an extra-time winner through star forward Denis Bouanga cancelled out a Brian Rodríguez second half penalty to send the SoCal side into the group stage.

The former Barcelona forward says the European clubs are the favourites but has predicted upsets after a "long season."

Inter Miami, the Seattle Sounders and LAFC – will take part in the first edition of the new-look Club World Cup, but what will their bonuses look like?

More than 30,000 fans showed up for Seattle's Club World Cup opener on Sunday. But Sounders fans weren't all pleased about the dynamic pricing for the tournament.

Lionel Messi and Inter Miami will play the first game of the FIFA Club World Cup tomorrow against Al Ahly. The Argentine star faces a brand-new competition with Inter Miami since his arrival in the summer of 2023.
